High School Teachers Perform 'We're Not Gonna Take It' Marching Band Style

Today marks the fourth day of the Oklahoma teacher walkout. Schools all across the state have closed after teachers began their protest to raise union wages for their fellow teachers, bus drivers, custodians, administrative staff and others. They are also demanding the $100 million that has been cut from their budget over the past 10 years to be restored.

Twisted Sister's 'We're Not Gonna Take It' has become the unofficial anthem for the strike according to CBS News. The movement is now totaled at an estimated 36,000 teachers, and Dee Snider tweeted about the cause.

A group of these teachers decided to perform the song, to the style of a marching band of course. Check out the video below.

New Green Day Side Project Rumored To Be Coming

Billie Joe Armstrong started teasing a new side project via Instagram called The Longshot. Armstrong began releasing images and gif's via the site all teasing a new side project while using the hashtag #TheLongshot and even tagging @Longshot.

The Longshot Instagram page is currently private with 54 posts and 563 followers (as of 8 am on April 4th). The description reads "New album “Love is for Losers” coming eventually sooner or later. Probably sooner."

Past the cryptic Instagram posts and @Longshot bio, we don't have much information on the new project. This wouldn't be his first venture into work other than Green Day. He's also been associated with Pinhead Gunpowder, Foxboro Hot Tubs, and The Network (rumored).
